Honey, You're a Billionaire?

"Speak" Rose urged as she eyed the approaching crowd.

Yara gulped nervously. She didn't want to confess, but Rose's grip on her wrist tightened, and Jonathan was holding Bella back. She was alone and helpless, so she had no choice but to comply. "Rose... Rose didn't push me..." Everyone had just arrived when they heard Yara's voice.

"Yara, what nonsense are you talking about?" Bella panicked. She tried to stop Yara, but Yara had spoken and couldn't back down.

"Rose didn't push me..." Yara repeated.

Although Lizzie had seen through the truth, she feigned ignorance and asked, "It wasn't Ms. Shaffer? How did you fall down the stairs then?"

A look of guilt flickered in Yara's eyes. "It was me. I didn't watch my steps."

She dared not admit that she had framed Rose on purpose, but Rose didn't mind. It was enough to her that she had her innocence proven.

"Yara!" Bella was furious. It was the perfect opportunity to push the blame onto Rose, but since Yara had said so, she had no choice but to go along with Yara's words.

She eyed Eleanor and forced a smile. "Yara must have been too frightened that she mistakenly thought Ms. Shaffer pushed her."

The explanation was to preserve Yara's dignity.

Rose released Yara and raised an eyebrow. She asked with a smile, "No worries, Ms. Maize. Do I still need to apologize since I wasn't the one who pushed you?" "No... there's no need."

Now free, Yara quickly retreated a few steps for fear of falling into Rose's hands again. But Rose's gaze still made her scalp tingle.

Rose smiled. "Shouldn't you apologize to me then?"

To say that it was just a simple misunderstanding wasn't enough for Rose. Just an apology was a concession for Yara! Yara gritted her teeth. She was always proud and now had to apologize to a woman from Aquastead. Why would she?

But when Rose took a step forward, Yara shuddered and hurriedly apologized. "I'm sorry..."

Clenching her teeth in frustration, she reluctantly continued, "Ms. Shaffer, I'm sorry for the misunderstanding."

Rose responded with a hum and a nod in satisfaction. She then turned to the others present. "I said I didn't push her. Mrs. Finch Senior..."

Rose didn't feel to stay any longer after having cleared her name. Just as she was about to say goodbye to Eleanor, a helper rushed over followed by a concerned man and woman. "Mrs. Finch Senior, these two guests..."

"Rosie?" The man's voice interrupted the helper before she could finish.

Rose turned around and was immediately embraced by the two people who anxiously asked, "Rosie, are you alright? Are you hurt?"

"Rosie, let me check."

The man and woman had eyes full of concern only for Rose. Rose was shocked when she recognized them.

"Clover, Emily, how..."

How did they know she was here? And the worry in their eyes... They seemed relieved after having made sure she was fine.

A thought crossed Rose's mind. "How did you know that I had a car accident?"

The question made Clover pause. He had secretly arranged for Rose to be protected, and Rose might feel uncomfortable if she knew.

Clover looked around and saw Jonathan. "Mr. Finch told me about it. Right, Mr. Finch?"

Clover's arrival surprised Jonathan too. He hadn't informed Clover about Rose's accident, so it could only mean that...

Jonathan met Clover's eyes and caught a hint of threat that confirmed his suspicion that Clover had someone watching Rose just like he did. He played along since neither of them wanted Rose to know. "Yes, I told him."

"Rosie, it's good that you're fine. You

don't know how frightened Clover was when he heard about youre accident." Emily cracked a joke now that the tension eased.

Rose felt a warmth in her heart. Although she hadn't known them long, their concern for her was genuine, especially Clover's!

"Thank you, Clover. I'm sorry to have made you worried. And you too, Emily. Thank you."

After being targeted and wronged, and having fought back alone, the warmth in Rose's heart prompted her to hug Emily's arm. Clover felt a twinge of jealousy seeing Rose's affection for Emily.

"What's with the thanks? We're here to take you home." With that, he hooked his arm around Rose's neck. Clover and Emily had arrived in a hurry, and now the three left happily together.

Throughout the interaction, Clover and Emily had paid no attention to anyone else, but Clover's innate air of eliteness caught Eleanor's attention. "Jon, who is he?" she asked as Jonathan was about to follow them.

"He?" Jonathan paused then truthfully answered, "Clover Xanth from Lerain Group."

Lerain Group? Eleanor's expression changed. She wanted to ask more, but Jonathan had run forward to catch up with the trio.

Bella begrudgingly watched them leave. She clenched her fist and shouted, "Jon, don't forget Yara is pregnant with your child!"

The trio abruptly halted, and Clover's face darkened. When they came to the gate of the manor, he blocked Jonathan's way. "Someone's pregnant?" he bluntly questioned, displeased.

Jonathan frowned and glanced at Rose. "She had nothing to do with me!" He was referring to Yara.

"Nothing to do with you? How is she pregnant then? Jonathan, if I remember correctly, you're married to Rose. Care to explain what you're doing?" Clover stepped up for Rose. Then his words took a turn. "That's fine. Rosie deserves better. Rosie, let's go. Don't come with us."

Clover turned to leave with Rose and protected her with Emily, directing his final words to Jonathan. Jonathan, however, refused to obey and followed. Rose hadn't shown any reaction to Yara's pregnancy, but he needed to know how she was feeling.

Before Rose got into the car, Jonathan called out, "Wifey..."

Rose paused.

"I have something to tell you," Jonathan said. He needed to speak to Rose alone.

"Jonathan..."

"Sure." Clover was about to speak when he got interrupted by Rose. "Clover, I happened to have something to tell him."

Clover frowned and hesitated, but he eventually agreed to her request.
